Irobot Film Techniques

Based on the novel by Melina Marcetta and directed by Kate Woods, the film “Looking for Alibrandi” highlights the importance of the personal search for identity and sense of belonging. The film explores the story of Josephine Alibrandi, who struggles to discover her true identity as she is unable to relate to her Italian heritage but also does not feel like she fits in with her Australian friends either. Coming from none – Australian background, it was impossible for me to not relate to her situation. One technique that Woods used to convey this theme is voice–over narration, as used at the beginning of the play, during the national Italian festival “The Tomato Day”: "You may think this is all quirky and cute but I actually find it really embarrassing".

With Robots becoming a popular part of our everyday lives people are beginning to question if people are treating robots with the same respect that they treat people with. Researchers are also beginning to wonder if there need to be laws to protect robots from being tortured or even killed. Scientists have done research to test and see if people react the same to robots as they would to actual people or animals. In Is it Okay to Torture or Murder a Robot Richard Fisher contemplates the reason on why it is wrong to hurt or kill a robot by using a stern and unbiased tone.

A company called Rossum’s Universal Robots makes robots for the world, but Helena (The President's daughter) is trying to convince the robots to revolt against Domino's cruelty but ends up marrying him. 10 years later and barely anyone is giving birth to children anymore because robots can replace everything, so Helena burns the formula to create robots in hope that no more robots will be made an takeover the human race. The robots end up attacking the factory and kill everyone except Alquist thinking that he can find the robot formula again, a while later Alquist hasn't discovered the formula yet and he starts to fear oblivion as the robots only have a lifespan of 20-30 years. In the end, two robots named Primus and Helena fall in love and Alquist believes that they have souls so he tells them to go off and produce life, and then Alquist died feeling hopeful of the future.

The technological advancements made in our society show that we are not far from this futuristic aspect of the society. About one year ago, it was announced by the Oregon Police Division that they will soon have a robot canine to help them fight crime with the help of a “$15,000 donation from Toledo Refining LLC” to purchase and train the police dogs. According to the article, “the police dog will be trained to detect human scents and drugs” as stated by the police chief, Mike Navarre. Also under proper command, the dog can “bring down a fleeing suspect [or] find someone in a building.” These aspects of our society display the vast similarity.

In this day and age society is evolving in many different and unique ways. One major way is through our technology, which is improving every day. The new advancements can help make communicating easier, education smoother, and our country a safer place to live. This summer The Dallas Texas police force used a new and equipped robot to kill a criminal who refused to surrender. This has caused a very controversial subject in our country. The people who think it is morally wrong. Then there are people who think it is a great way to help and keep our low enforcement safer. I agree that it will help. Using a robot, it is safer, more efficient, and more American.

This article begins by outlining the tragic death of an artificial intelligence robot, named Steve. Steve’s accidental death, by stairs, raises a lot of new questions surrounding robots, and their rights. In his article, Leetaru, discusses the range of questions that have sparked from not only Steve’s death, but the rise of advanced robot mechanics. While the Silicon Valley is busy grinding out new plans and models of robots, especially security robots, how can we establish what a mechanical robot is entitled to? Leetaru offers many different scenarios concerning robots against aggressors, in hopes to reveal that these rights be outlined with the rise in usage of this technology. The article speculates how in the future, when these robots

Even if come to the robots that are purposely designed to simulate human kinds, certain moral bottom principles will be installed in to the core program of the robot, which means certain “rebellion” can be prevented by the human kind in

While Hollywood’s interpretations of futures where robots take over the human race are highly entertaining, the movie predictions may not be so far from present times. Take the example of the artificially intelligent robot Ultron, from Avengers: Age of Ultron, who was programmed with the task of achieving world peace. Without any specifications, he believed this goal would only be achieved by abolishing humankind. Artificial intelligence (AI), takes instructions very literally and the results will be disastrous in both a physical and mental sense when it starts thinking for itself. In essence, self-driving cars create moral dilemmas and safety concerns regarding artificially intelligent technology being programmed to coexist with humans.

V.I.K.I., from Proyas’s rendition of Asimov’s “I, Robot”, is similar to the creation of Frankenstein’s creature. It begins as a “blank slate”, and is programmed knowledge through the scientist Dr. Lanning. The “3 Laws of Robotics” are the main rules each robot is equipped with. They

It reflects that technology has potential dangerous for people. In today’s world, we are going to experience the similar issue. Scientists are researching the robots and AI to invent autonomous robots, like human beings. They want these robots to replace people to do dangerous work. If the dream can come true, human beings will face the biggest challenge.

The future world of I, Robot is introduced to the audience through the eyes of Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith). Before he experienced a tragedy, he used to be a normal person, but now he seems to be

In this film, we can recognize that Det Del Spooner isn't too keen on having robots around to help with their tasks. He believes that by having the NS5 robots do our tasks makes us as humans less dependable on ourselves. We don’t evolve and become stagnated in our own society waiting for the robots to do the chore. Det Del Spooner witnesses how everyone around him fully rely on their robots for their tasks. One scene where Det Del Spooner observes a robot running with a purse. Of course, he assumed that the robot just stole the bag. Afterwards, it is uncovered that this robot was not stealing but running to give his owner her purse. Consequently, the robot was just doing his job and helping his owner. This displays how Det Del Spooner is very cautious and doesn’t believe that the robots will maintain the laws set up for them when created. The laws were set up to protect the humans, to obey the

R2D2 from Star Wars is a robot that helps the humans and is a famous movie icon. Decepticon from Transformers, however, is a widely-known robot that is out to kill humans. These movies and other social inputs have made a two-sided view of robots; either people support robots and are excited to see the future with them or they are against them and fear any kind of artificial intelligence. Robotics is a double-edged sword; there is a considerable amount of evidence and experience to safely say that robots are essential to humans, yet many people have the innate fear that they will surpass humans. Rather than fearing robots, people should try to embrace the advancing technology and the benefits that could result from it.

In today’s fast paced technologically savvy society, everyone wants the most advanced technology, this thirst for the next big thing is what makes technology fields the fastest changing and growing sectors. In countless movies, television shows, and novels, there is a representation of a humanoid character that is in fact a machine functioning and learning new skills with artificial intelligence. The problem with these shows is that the representation of modern day artificial intelligence is largely skewed, these machines have personalities and emotions making them relatable to humans when they are still just a very elaborate computer program. Artificial intelligence is the cognitive ability to solve problems, recognize patterns, and have

After watching the movie I, Robot, I find that many ethical issues come about from the technology shown in the movie. The movie takes place in 2035 and is about robots that are programmed with Three Laws: First Law-A robot must never harm a human being or, through inaction, allow any harm to come to a human; Second Law-A robot must obey the orders given to them by human beings, except where such orders violate the First Law; Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second Laws. Humans use these robots to do common tasks for them. Some of the ethical questions arisen from this movie include do robots have the ability to make emotional or ethical decision, are they entitled to the same rights as
